Jack Winkler

Jack Winkler has agreed to a minor league deal with the Houston Astros. The deal presumably includes an invitation to big league camp.

Fantasy Impact

Winkler made his big league debut with the Marlins last season and went 4-for-16 with a pair of doubles and a stolen base in 14 games. The utility infielder is a career .234 hitter across five seasons in the minors. He hits an occasional home run, but he is much more known for his decent speed as he is 83-for-97 in his stolen base attempts. He was a perfect 25-for-25 last season with Triple-A Jacksonville. Winkler will likely head to Triple-A Sugar Land, but could eventually make his way back to the majors at some point in 2026.

The Miami Marlins removed Jack Winkler from their 40-man roster on Wednesday, outrighting the infielder to Triple-A Jacksonville. The 27-year-old will remain in the organization.

Winkler saw limited action since being called up on September 5, going 2-for-4 with two doubles. With Graham Pauley (oblique) and Connor Norby (quad) being activated from the injured list, there is no longer a spot for him on the Marlins, so he will return to the minors.
